Best Day of a Parent's Life

Okay, second only to when the kids can wipe their own bums and you don't even have to check--that's the ultimate day-- is the day they can hold their own bottle. You doubt me? You must've exclusively nursed your kid, or else you're so old you forget the supreme frustration of having to drop everything and hold a bottle for a baby who takes 20 minutes to drink the contents. I can't even pay the kids to hold it. They give up after about a nickel's worth.


Therefore, I'm happy to report Simone has been successfully holding her own bottle in all sorts of postions for about 3 weeks now. FREEDOM!!

The best day of my life, so far, was the day Nathan learned how to put the binky back in his mouth by himself :) Love the latest pics!!!
